Hair loss is directly associated with follicular health and follicular health depends on nourishment.
There are two main sources of follicular nourishment:
Topical nourishment
Oral Nourishment
Blood is the medium for oral nourishment, while skin is for topical nourishment.
Topical Nourishment:
Topical nourishment involves the application of hair tonics and massage of scalp. Not all hair tonics available in market are effective. Most people use them but soon they get disappointed either of the fact that hair nourishment does not involves hair loss or all hair tonics are scams.
While on the other hand, the fact is that, hair loss is directly associated with follicular health, if at proper time, proper hair tonic is used, you are sure to stop your hair loss.
Oral Nourishment:
Oral Nourishment involves the balanced intake of dietary substances such as vitamins, minerals and proteins. In case of imbalance of either of the substance, your bodily chemical reactions are greatly disturbed.
Oral nourishment involves blood to transfer nutrients from stomach to hair follicles. Thus, for proper hair health, you must have healthy blood.
Role of Oxygen:
Oxygen is what on which your entire bodily reactions depend. Proper absorption of oxygen is necessary for normal hair growth.
What is the basic structure of hair follicle?
Hair follicle is just like a deep hole into the two layers. In case of skin, a hair follicle is a hole that proceeds from epidermis of the skin to the end of the dermis. At the lower end of this hole, there is a bulb like structure called dermal papilla.
In the vicinity of dermal papilla, epithelial cells are found. The bulb like structure called papilla induces these cells to divide by mitosis and produce keratin, a protein that builds most of the hair.
Thousands of blood capillaries are attached with papilla that nourishes the entire hair follies.
Attached to the hair follicle are sebaceous glands that produce lubricant called sebum. It lubricates hair follicles and skin. The primary function of sebum is to lubricate the hair shaft so that by the internal pressure of gradually dividing cells, hair can grow and proceeds easily on the hair surface.
How lack of nourishment causes hair loss?
Entire bodily reactions depend on nutrients as well as growth of hair follicles. A hair growth starts when epithelium cells begin to divide and produce keratin.
Vitamin C greatly increases the rate of growth of epithelium cells that why they are most prescribed medication for ulcer and womb pain.
Lack of vitamin C obviously causes hair loss. But remember, it is not only the vitamin C that causes the hair to lose; there are other factors such as Zink, silicon and other nutrients.
As a basic principle, a cell divides due to two reasons:
Age of the cell
Density of protoplasm
When protoplasm increases than its normal density, nucleus of the cell instructs to divide. Thus, as much nutrients you take, as much increase of protoplasm will be, that results in fast hair growth.
How can I nourish my hair topically?
There are hundreds of hair tonics such as 101B and 101G formulae use widely. These herbal tonics are the extractions from the herbal plant which DR. Zhao himself analyzed and studied.
Always use proprietary brand as there are hundreds of brands out there that are totally scams.
Conclusion:
For healthy hair and stop losing hair, balanced diet and topical nourishment is necessary. Best source of topical nourishment is herbal tonics.
